Event Details
Deep dive into risk and compliance
Some conferences skim the surface. Level Up doesn't. This year we're heading underwater with a theme that mirrors what our best sessions have always done: Pull risk and compliance out of the shallow end and into the depths where the real issues live, then come up for air with something you can use Monday morning.
Level Up 27 is APP's annual conference, built by payments professionals for payments professionals. If your work touches risk, compliance, regulatory, security/PCI, disputes and chargebacks, or underwriting/KYC, this is your week.
What to expect:
Six disciplines, one agenda. More than 20 sessions cover the full depth of what payments risk and compliance teams navigate day to day, taught by the people doing the work.
Real people, real problems. The best part of Level Up has never been the slides. It's the conversation in the hallway with someone who's already navigated the exact undertow you're stuck in, or the coffee chat that turns into a real professional connection.
Something for every stage of your career. Whether you're just getting your fins wet or you've been down here for twenty years, there's a session, a mentor, or a conversation here that's useful to you.
A reason to lead. Volunteer opportunities let you build your name in the industry, sharpen your skills, and help others stay steady when the riptide hits, the same way this community has done for a lot of us.
